The English club, Manchester United, announced today, Friday, that it had reached an official agreement with Argentine Mauricio Pochettino to take over the technical leadership of the team, succeeding Michael Carrick, who was dismissed from his position on Thursday.
The club, nicknamed the “Red Devils,” explained in its statement that the current coach of the American national team will assume his new duties as of November 18. This appointment comes at a time when the team is suffering in the English Premier League, as it languishes in the relegation zone after recording its worst start in the competition in four decades.
For its part, the US Football Association announced that Pochettino will lead the national team in its next two matches against Haiti, before officially joining Manchester United.
Manchester United confirmed in its statement that an agreement had been reached with the American Federation to relieve Pochettino and his supporting staff from their international duties immediately after the end of their commitments with the national team.
It is noteworthy that Pochettino previously had coaching experience in the English Premier League with Tottenham Hotspurs, before taking over the training of the American national team, and he had previously expressed his welcome to return to the “Premier League” atmosphere.
